Servings : 40 cookies
Tiny and delicious bites of the most melt-in-your mouth, crumbly cookies ever!! Easy to make, and they taste outstanding!
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose/plain flour
- 1/2 cup custard powder
- 1/2 cup pure icing sugar
- 250gm unsalted butter
- 1 tsp. vanilla essence
Instructions
Bring the butter to room temperature. Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees C.
If you have a food processor, mix the butter with icing and vanilla. Process for a couple of minutes or until well combined. You can use a hand-mixer.
Add the flour and custard. Pulse until JUST well combined. Do not over-process coz then your cookies won’t have a fine delicate crumbly texture.
Shape as desired and bake on greased trays! (12-15minutes)
I rolled teeny balls with my hands, placed them on the tray and flattened them slightly with a fork. Dip the fork in flour to avoid it sticking to the cookies. If the cookies crumble or crack during shaping, add a few drops of milk and try again.
Aslm Alkm Fauzia. Thank you so much for your delicious recipes…am ur big fan! Kindly what’s maida? What flour type is it? I thought one could use wheat flour instead….
W/Salaam, maida is the same as plain flour or all purpose flour.
What will be the temperature of the oven?
Very nice
Temperature is included in the recipe.
I want to know the gas mark for this temperature.
Gas Mark 4.
Salam Aleikum.
I would like to ask..will it be ok if i use finely grinded sugar instead of the icing sugar?
W/Salaam, icing sugar has cornflour in it which gives the cookies a melt-in-mouth texture. Grinded sugar will not have the extra ingredient. You can add 2 tbsp of cornflour in every cup of sugar then grind together and use.
Salam ur doing a great job:)
As I will be making d icing sugar at home I wanted to know how much of colour should I use? Four tbsp? and mixed with sugar or flour?
W/Salaam, thank you. I do not understand what you need the colour for?

Hi,
250g of sugar is well over a cup. don’t u think it is bit to much? i tried them last year. they smelled fantastic but they got melted while baking as the batter was kind of floating in butter. not sure, what went wrong with me. could u please assist?
Hi, this is ICING SUGAR not normal sugar. So 250gm is just right. Did you use normal sugar? Coz no way they would have melted if you used icing sugar.
Salaam apa, can we use without any mixer??
is it ok if use with only hands??
W/Salaam, yes that is fine, just try to avoid over-handling the mixture…be very quick when mixing. 🙂
Salami fouzia
